Knee under flexion load – Lock does not open
Blue Profile
Purple Profile
For safety reasons, the E-MAG Control can only be opened when the knee joint is fully extended.
If the user tries to open the lock while bearing a flexion load, the electronics will respond with,
at least, a long vibration to indicate a failure. The sound signal and yellow flashing are active
only in the Blue Profile.
Battery status
WARNING!
The electronics will turn off if the battery is completely empty.
In that case the user can still open the lock manually, though this is cumbersome.
Therefore please check the battery status regularly.
Should the battery capacity fall below the pre-adjusted capacity value, the electronics will emit
the signals listed here.
Blue Profile
Purple Profile
This warning is repeated after each opening or closing until the battery has been changed.
After the first signal, the lock will open or close for approximately ten more times. The speed
with which a battery becomes discharged depends on the ambient temperature: The colder the
temperature, the faster the remaining capacity is used up.
Failure of the electronics
The E-MAG Control is not vulnerable to failure. However, should disruptions occur, the electronics
recognizes the failure and sends a warning signal.
